Impact

The CERCA Institute is committed to defining an overall RIA strategy for the entire CERCA system and implementing impact strategies based on each centre’s mission.

Glossary of research impact terminology

This document details the terminologies most broadly used by practitioners of research impact assessment and is the result of multiple contributions, mainly from the members of the CERCA RIAAB and Dr Julie Bayley.

Research impact may be defined as a change or benefit to the economy, society, culture, public policy or services, health, the environment or quality of life, that goes beyond the academic world.

The programme has an advisory board (RIAAB) which main objective is to contribute to an impact strategy in the pursuit of success by analysing and monitoring how impact processes are organised in centres and in the CERCA system.
